- When we talk about a personal knowledge base, most people imagine a static archive of notes. But knowledge is a living process, and the experts you interact with also change, develop, and learn new things.

- In Conoted, you can now not only structure experts by area, but also track their development - see how their knowledge changes, what new topics they study, where their professional path is heading.

Social graph!

We are working on a feature that visualizes the development of experts. This will allow you to:

  • See how their areas of knowledge change
  • Understand who they interact with
  • Determine who is the best expert in their field.

Now analyzing people's professional development will become even easier and more visual!

 How are we different from LinkedIn?

📊 LinkedIn is expert marketing

LinkedIn is designed to present yourself and your professional experience.

  • Users publish resumes, brag about their achievements, write PR articles.
  • The main goal is career advancement and job search.
  • The platform does not structure knowledge, but focuses on personality branding.

📚 Conoted is a knowledge base, not just marketing

  • In Conoted, knowledge is alive and structured - it is not just a description of experience, but a constantly updated intellectual map.
  • We do not just store data about people, but record their thoughts, research, ideas and their development.
  • Our social graph is based not on connections for the sake of connection, but on knowledge and interactions through ideas.

📌 The main difference is that on LinkedIn a person promotes himself, and on Conoted his knowledge speaks for him.

Why is it important to track the development of experts?

1. The world does not stand still

An expert who yesterday knew everything about Accounting is already actively studying Finance and Markets today.

📈 Example: You have a UX designer in your contacts. A year ago, he studied only Figma, and now he actively posts notes on AI design and generative neural networks. This is a valuable signal that when working on a new project, he can offer modern solutions.

2. Contacts are not just a list of people

Most people save contacts, but do not follow their development. But someone you know could have become a leading specialist in the topic you need, but you do not even know about it.

📌 Example: You added a student programmer to your contacts. Two years later, he is already a middle developer in a large company, and he now has new useful knowledge and experience.

3. Building long-term connections

When you see how people around you change, you can:

  • Discuss new topics with them.
  • Offer them new opportunities.
  • Learn from them and follow their expertise.

📊 Example: You see that your friend has started writing notes about investments. Does this mean that he is no longer just a programmer, but is entering the financial sector - perhaps you should discuss the topic of FinTech with him?

How is this implemented in Conoted?

  1. Our recommendation system offers you to add experts to your contact base on topics that interest you
  2. You manually add experts to your contact base from your acquaintances.
  3. When an expert creates new notes or studies a new topic, the system records it.
  4. In the "My contacts" section, you can see not only people, but also their dynamics - what tags they use, what topics have become their main ones.
  5. You can set up notifications about new notes from the experts you follow.
  6. The social graph will show all the connections between experts and their development in a convenient format.

📊 How does this change the work with the knowledge base?

  • The contact base is no longer static - it is now an evolving knowledge network.
  • You do not lose useful people - but understand when and with whom it is worth renewing communication.
  • You can track trends - see where your professional circle of contacts is moving.
  • The social graph simplifies the analysis of experts - you can better understand their development and who you should contact.
